Famous Dave's vs Mighty Quinn's Barbeque Franchise Comparison

Famous Dave's is a "specialty" casual dining restaurant franchise, creating environments that transcend current restaurant offerings by serving the highest quality, flavor-intense foods in surroundings that are stimulating, interesting and fun! Famous Dave's is more than a restaurant - it's an escape from the ordinary. Few restaurants in history have achieved as much recognition in a few short years as Famous Dave's! Dave's road to fame began with a strong hankerin' for fine barbecue and a stronger desire to make the finest slow-smoked barbecue folks had ever tasted. He visited rib shacks, roadside joints, every hole-in-the-wall or fancy pants supper club he could, all in search of the most succulent meats, savory seasonings and lipsmackin' sauces around. After 25 years of tastin' and cookin', Dave's barbecue just plain knocked the socks off his family and friends. That's when Dave decided he had to share. He wanted to give all the folks a chance to dig into the best barbecue ever. And in a place as down-home fun and frolicsome as the shacks and clubs he went a callin' on all those years.

Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque was founded in 2011 with the belief that great barbeque should be more available in New York City which has one of the most diverse culinary offerings in the world. Co-founders Christos Gourmos, Micha Magid and Hugh Mangum set out to change this and have now grown the brand to 10 locations including a restaurant in the iconic Yankee Stadium and 5 locations internationally.   They set out to create a brand that supported what was most important to themselves and their customers; serving all-naturally raised meats, using fresh ingredients and supporting an environment where great customer service was just as important as the food. Having set the standard in our category we’re now looking for like-minded restaurateurs and entrepreneurs to join us in growing our brand across the country.

Mighty Quinn's Barbeque has worked to establish Mighty Quinn’s as the category leader in fast casual barbeque. What started as a single restaurant in the East Village of Manhattan has grown into a brand with international locations and a national media presence with features on the Food Network, The New York Times and many other influential media platforms. Our mission is to continue building on this momentum in new markets with our franchisee partners.
